Configuring Sympa

I am using the "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix" setup (which I really like) and am also trying to get the sympa mailing list working.

I have it set up but have run into a roadblock. In the documentation when you set up a new list you have to also setup some aliases (which naturally do not work correctly when all your aliases are abstracted to mysql).

obviously the aliases file doesn't have a problem running commands but (I assume but haven't actually checked it out) that the mysql db will choke on this. If this is the case, what are your thoughts on the next step?

The postfix_mailfilter guide is what ended up working for me. Thanks for the link.

In the next few days I'll write up the steps to how I got this all working but I'll just say for now that this site is a real treasure for an admin like me. Your howto's are not out of date and you tend to be solving the same kinds of problems that I am.

I just ended up fixing a problem I was having with the maildrop lists (as the web interface would direct you incorrectly...) where any email where the "to:" list would be To: joey <[email protected]> would get bitbucketed. The solution was a maildrop line like this
